DEBACLE AT KOROSTEN

Scenario 17
ALONG THE KIEV ROAD, August 30, 1941: As the front spread with each
German success, vast gaps were left in the main line. These gaps proved to be
perfect avenues of approach for the far-ranging Russian cavalry. One such daring
group, the I st Regiment, 2nd Cavalry Division, rode deep behind German lines to
the map depot of the 6th Army, near the town of Korosten. Waiting until twilight,
they drew their sabres and came sweeping across the steppes like the Cossacks of
old.
